Our Care, Our Choice Act Advisory Council
Ano ang Ginagawa ng Konseho na Ito
Ang Our Care, Our Choice Act Advisory Council was created to oversee implementation of Hawaii's medical aid in dying law, which allows terminally ill adults with a prognosis of six months or less to request medication to end their lives. The council monitors compliance with the law's safeguards, reviews data on its use, and makes mga rekomendasyon to the legislature on any needed changes. Kasama nito ang physicians, patient advocates, hospice professionals, and mga miyembro ng komunidad.
Bakit Dapat Kang Mag-alala
Ang konseho na ito ensures that Hawaii's end-of-life option law is administered safely and that patients' rights and protections are upheld. Residents facing terminal illness, as well as healthcare providers, can follow the council's reports and provide input as the law continues to evolve.
